    Popped over and saw a post saying a user was praising the Uyghur genocide. Read the post and instead it was a guy saying that China was successfully deradicalising terrorists…

    So yeah. No ones saying “I love that China is genociding muslims!”

        Hey look everyone! It’s multiple users who can’t provide any examples to validate the rumors they’re spreading about people they dislike!

            I don’t lie and spread rumors like y’all do. When I say something, I have the receipts. No projection here.

                Sounds like a convenient excuse to just abandon any standards of evidence whatsoever, as is happening here.

                If you can’t provide any evidence whatsoever that a person or group says something, and they reject that characterization of their beliefs, then why should anyone believe a word of what you’re saying?

                Oh right, because of the power of tribalism. Gotta agree with all the bullshit or you won’t be accepted into the in-group. Which is the actual “same game MAGA plays.” The anti-intellectualism, tribalism, and lies are right out of their playbook. We can’t really get through your wall of misinformation for the exact same reasons that you can’t get through MAGA’s misinformation, because on a certain level, you don’t even care if the things you’re saying are true or not.

            “There’s entire communities”

            Great. It should be really easy to show proof then.

                I already checked meanwhileongrad and saw someone lying about a user supporting genocide.

                I checked the modlog and saw instances of things on the lines of “oh I knew you guys were just tankies”.

                So let’s quit this stupid game.

                You show me an example of someone actually advocating for genociding Uyghur muslims or admit you’re just making shit up to justify hating people you disagree with. There’s “entire communities” so you shouldn’t have much trouble.

            There are entire communities dedicated to paranormal investigations, they’ve totally got evidence of ghosts too, and when you ask to see it they’ve got more to show than you do
